    Unit 19

    Hi all, I did a search about unit 19 elk and didn't come up with a whole lot. Basically I am hunting 3rd rifle with my son for YOUTH elk and deer. So it is probably more about opportunity than quality. I've spent one day deer hunting in the unit, multiple days shed hunting, but really don't...

    7mm Rem Mag Scope

    I'm looking to buy a new 7mm to replace my Remington Model 700. Likely going to buy a Savage, but I'm more concerned with putting a good scope on it. I'll primarily hunt mule deer, elk, and pronghorn with it with mule deer being my primary use for the rifle. I'm looking at the Viper PST...

    Colorado CVA Optima loads

    I've shot three elk in three years with 100gr triple 7 and 295gr powerbelts. I have used the factory fiber optic sights. Each shot was between 55 to 80 yards. I This year I actually have time to go to the range and work up a load that will extend my range, especially because I might have a...

    Northern NM Elk rutting timeframe

    Hi all, I have only hunted CO and WY previously. I am looking at a northern NM or western NM hunt for this year. What are the best times for hunting elk during the rut? I know here in CO Sept 15-25 is kind of the best time for bugling. With NM being further south I would assume the best...

    Random Draw odd

    I have one non-resident preference point. I do have access to a decent chunk of land to hunt in a higher demand unit that I believe took 8.5 points to draw last year. If I apply for that given unit do I still have a chance(albeit slim) to draw in the "random draw"? Thanks

    CVA Optima elk loads

    I made the decision to buy an Optima over and Accura. I am hunting Colorado elk in just over a month and wanted some opinions on your accurate loads. I plan on shooting BH209 with the BH plug. Ideally, I'd like to be sighted in for any shots up to 100 yards. Hopefully with your help I can...

    CVA Optima V2

    I've narrowed it down via cost-effectiveness for elk hunting in Colorado. It'll still work for deer, moose, antelope anywhere if I chose. Does anyone have any negativity towards this rifle? Versus the Accura I feel like it doesn't give me any less of a chance to shoot an elk at 100 yards. A...

    Need to purchase a CO legal MZ for elk

    I am planning on hunting in Colorado and have a MZ tag for this fall. I have only bow hunted before. I have a bit of experience with a TC Triumph, but do not own a gun. That being said, which gun(priced at TC Triumph Bone Collector price or less) would you choose? I want something that is...

    Bord Gulch?

    LAST EDITED ON Mar-25-15 AT 01:56PM (MST)[p]Anyone here ever hunt here for deer? It would be a RFW hunt. I'm wondering if it is worth the six points if I want to hunt this year. I've never shot a mule deer buck before so I'm not after a trophy, but a respectable 4x4 would be preferred. I...

    Deer in Unit 14

    I've got a place north of Steamboat to stay for hunting season. I'm just wondering who would have experience in this area for deer, especially during muzzleloader. I'm not looking for a monster. We would just like to have some opportunities. We are younger, able to get back a few miles, and...

    Wyoming Antelope Units 46,47,48

    I've hunted 48 for does a few times on the Hannah Draw Ranch. Now that I have two non-resident points I would like to try for a buck tag. Obviously a trophy would be nice, but I would be happy with any decent buck. I am not interested in a trespass hunt as I'm trying to keep it as economical...

    Flattops 23/24

    We're headed up 1st rifle season again with cow tags. We normally hunt 9300 to 10500 ft of elevation, however; with the strange summer I am beginning to wonder if we should concentrate elsewhere. So if you bow hunted this area I'm curious what your observations were. Were they in traditional...

    NO CO Sheds

    Finally made it up to an area I've been hoping to hunt 4th season and had a look around. 1st off, there was more snow than I expected so I didn't find anything at the high elevations, nor did I got any higher. 2nd I found a mule deer shed (7,900) which I was not expecting. 3rd, what...

    57/58 elk anyone?

    I'm looking at hunting elk here this fall 1st rifle. Does anyone have any experience here? Or even better pictures? Questions I have- How accessible are the elk as there is considerable private lands? Are there outfitters here I should consider? (rmohunts.com) And I would have a bull tag...

    What to do with 2 elk resident preference points???

    So I have two points now and instead of waiting for something in unit 20 late, I am thinking of getting in 2 good hunts in those 4-5 years rather than just one good hunt. I am open to muzzleloader even though I've never been, although I'd prefer rifle. I've hunted elk now for two years and...
